    > What's CRC?

    An error correction protocol. Its used in a lot of file transfer
    protocls, including Xmodem and Zmodem. It takes a chunk of data and
    encodes it into an 8, 16, or 32 bit (byte?) block and transmits the data.
    The receiving end checks to see if the signatures are the same, and if
    so, accepts them. Otherwise it rejects it and it is resent.
